Can a dirty hybrid battery cooling fan filter cause overheating in a Prius?

The hybrid battery cooling fan pulls air to keep the battery at an optimal temperature. If this filter gets clogged with dust and debris, how does it affect the hybrid battery, and what are the risks of overheating?

Yes, a dirty cooling fan filter can obstruct airflow to the hybrid battery. The hybrid battery requires constant cooling to maintain optimal performance. If the filter is clogged, the battery can overheat, leading to a reduction in efficiency o r even battery failure. Regular cleaning of the fan filter is recommended to ensure proper cooling.
